Grand Theater, Tianjin, China

The Grand Theater, located in Tianjin, China, occupies the key position in the newly built Culture Park of Tianjin. The circular shape of the roof construction corresponds with the existing Museum of Natural History so that an architectural dialogue of an earth-bound and a “floating” circular volume is created to both ends of the park. Earth and sky represent a fundamental thinking in Chinese philosophy. 
The roof volume of the Grand Theater opens up toward the broad water surface like an open sea shell. Opera hall, concert hall and the small multi-functional hall are exposed to the water surface like pearls inside this shell.
The three venues are conceived as free standing volumes on a stone base. Broad stairways connect the stone base with the raised plaza creating a kind of stage for urban life which overlooks the lake and the Culture Park.
It was designed by Meinhard von Gerkan and Stephan Schütz with Nicolas Pomränke Project leaders: David Schenke, Xu Shan.
I really like this theater  because when you see it, yo can see the greatness of it, because everything that happens inside there is pure art, so from the outside you can also appreciate art and greatness. I´m not that in to theaters really, but when I got to investigate about them, I now love the way they are designed for.
